It was Travis’s idea to do a family portrait before their family increased by one. I’m glad he called upon me to do it; I’m always looking for portrait subjects. We shot this in the plaza at California/Davis streets. I don’t often shoot more than one person at once in Large Format because the focus can get a bit tricky, but I think this turned out pretty well.

This is again the Carl Meyer 12″ Apo-Process lens. I don’t have many 8×10 lenses, but the ones I do.. I really like.
